Roundtables

Join us for the first installment of Conference Continued! a monthly series of online roundtables expanding and exploring topics from NAMT’s Conferences.

First time attending NAMT’s Fall Conference or Festival of New Musicals? Join us for an online town hall to learn about some of the logistics, ask us anything, and meet fellow attendees — both new and returning — so you’ll have some familiar faces when you arrive.

Join us for a festive beverage and snack (BYOB&S…we’re on Zoom) to kick off the holiday season, reflect on 2023, and tell us about your plans for the year ahead. (Just click the “register” button when you’re ready to join the call; no advance registration required.)

Calling all administrators! Calling all educators! Join us for an introduction to the Musical Theater Songwriting Challenge, a new program in partnership with The National Endowment for the Arts that will provide opportunities for high school students to develop and showcase musical compositions that could be part of a musical theater production. Learn how to bring the Songwriting Challenge to schools in your community and build more creative pathways for students. (Advance registration is not required but we will ask for a little info when you click to join.)

In this very special Town Hall, we are excited to introduce you to our 35th Annual Festival of New Musicals writing teams. The eight shows were selected this year from 575 submissions — our largest pool ever by far! We’ll announce the shows and you’ll get to meet the writers and hear directly from them about their work. Then we invite attendees to join us in a toast to this year’s Festival participants! (Just click the “register” button when you’re ready to join the call; no advance registration required.)

Join us this month to learn all about NAMT’s strategic planning process, currently underway, and share your thoughts and takeaways from the Spring Conference. As always, we’ll have time for you to ask advice from colleagues, brag (or complain) a little, or just share whatever’s on your mind. (Just click the “register” button when you’re ready to join the call; no advance registration required.)

In this very special Town Hall, we are excited to introduce you to our 2022 Festival of New Musicals writing teams!

(Just click the “register” button when you’re ready to join the call; no advance registration required.)

Please join us to share how your fundraising efforts are being affected by the ever-changing landscape, and learn from other members of the NAMT community.

As requested at our last education town hall, let’s talk teachers! How do you engage with them as partners in your education programs? How has working remotely made that harder or easier? How do school administrators and teachers factor in to your planning and resource allocation?

Data-driven decision making is more important than ever. This interactive workshop from our friends at Tessitura will break down the elements of data-driven culture – Data | Decide | Do – as a framework, giving you the confidence to make decisions during an uncertain time. If you are struggling with what your historical data means for the future, or where to even start when every day brings new factors to consider, this workshop is for you. You’ll get to assess your own practices and center and refocus on using data in this new reality.

The professional, personal, and organizational stresses brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic can create new mental health challenges or intensify existing ones. Social isolation separates us from the community and work that would otherwise be significant coping strategies. How can arts leaders support themselves as well as provide support for staff members? Adam Reynolds is a drama therapist and social worker in NYC who works with individuals, groups, and organizations that have experienced traumatic events. He will offer some basic guidelines about navigating issues likely to emerge during the pandemic crisis and then facilitate a conversation with members about what issues they may have experienced within their organizations.
